UK Party Leaders Attack Banks, Bonuses and the City

LONDON, April 30, 2010 - In a tense final debate before the UK general election, the three main
party leaders attacked bankers and the City to gain votes while never
mentioning the black hole in the public finances, says Robin Bew and Charles
Jenkins at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The GBP50bn shortfall in government finances was the elephant in the room
that everybody ignored. The Economist Intelligence Unit doubts the scale of
attacks on bonuses talked about by Liberal Democrat Party Leader Nick Clegg
would ever come to pass as all parties realise how much the City still
matters.
